I’m feeling alright. My abs feel like I’ve been doing crunches all day (and yesterday (and the day before) )

The chicken broth here is delicious. Seriously.

This morning for breakfast I had beef broth and orange jello. I was so excited to try the beef broth that I ate too quickly. So now I have that thanksgiving stuffed feeling. From 1/2 cup of broth and a couple spoonfuls of jello.

The early check-in is welcome; since I can’t eat after midnight (doctor’s orders — I’ll turn into a gremlin). The sooner I am into surgery the less time i’ll spend being hungry.

Sorry to be morose, but there is a tiny sliver of a chance that I’ll die during the surgery. So, just to rub it in, here’s a list of the titles of upcoming posts you’ll miss out on:

The 8:30 check-in gives us enough time to get all the kids off to school, assuming it isn’t cancelled. For the historians visiting from the future, there’s a winter storm going on right now so it’s possible that school will be cancelled tomorrow. If so, that’ll suck for my lovely wife who will have to deal with all the kids while I’m relaxing in bed and high as a kite on drugs.
